It's still one of the most negative depictions of the CIA I've seen in a big popcorn movie Ross himself may be more or less presented as a decent guy but he goes ahead and tells us Killmonger is also a CIA agent and everything he does in Wakanda is exactly what he's trained tohttps://twitter.com/AlexandraErin/status/1302603237690945537 …

I think one of the key themes of black panther was “we all have the power to change” so tbh I think it was important to have Ross

T'Challa conspicuously offers Killmonger the chance to change ("Maybe we can still heal you" refers both to his physical mortal wound and his emotional damage) and Killmonger rejects it

probably because it require him to compromise and move towards T'Challa's utterly spineless lack of ideology or belief. Killmonger's main trait that makes him the villain is his actual belief in something.

Spineless lack of ideology or belief? This whole movie is about him generating an ideology and belief. It ends with him practicing that ideology.

Yeah I mean T'Challa just doing his job and not really knowing what values he stands for, just that he's a softie who doesn't like to piss people off or to see innocents hurt, is the point of the film

He *develops* an ideology over time, based on the tugging of his conscience, and it isn't fully formed until the end of the movie The moment when he shouts at his ancestors "ALL OF YOU WERE WRONG" in the spirit world is the moral climax of the film
